Dear Elias, history was my favorite subject. In fact, I often read historical fiction. It's a fun way to learn about the past. Good luck at school. I'll look forward to your letter, Debbie

Dear Elias, I was torn between summer and school time, because I liked going back to school to see my friends (I was quite chatty and often got in trouble for talking too much!), but I also liked being home. My summers were filled with riding my bike, swinging on our rickety-old swingset, playing backyard baseball, and reading. Back then, we weren't allowed to be inside all day. My mom said, "Go outside and play" and we did. We came home to go to the bathroom, eat, and sleep. Have a great week, Debbie

I will Elias! Are you ready for school to start? Hope it's great, Debbie

Hi Addison, I really liked fifth grade and I hope you will too. It was one of the 'funnest' years of school for me. It is understandable to be leery of anything new though, just like Shelly was in the first Mermaid Tales, Trouble at Trident Academy. I hope your first day is awesome and I will say a prayer for you! I have written some books for older kids: King of the Kooties, Cherokee Sister, and Whistler's Hollow. Elias, good luck with your writing! Have you checked out my writing page yet? I imagine your order forms will still be accepted, but I will check for you. Have a great weekend, Debbie
